Debbie Duncan Poet Blank verse

Robert Lee

I felt you one day. 

I knew it was true. 


You were there.


Inside me, you lay.


It wasn't meant to be. 


I bleed you away.


As it happened again.


I cried you away. 


I said, not doing this again.


Then it happened one day.


You came to me again.


Said you want to come thru.


And I was to be your vessel.  


I named you after my dad. 


Robert Lee, now thirty-one.


my son also named his son Robert, who is turned 3 Jan 17, 2013.

 The Ghost Baby:
Time and Space and Spirit 
Collide softly at a crossroad 
Where the Ghost Baby awaits

Duke Beaufort March 2, 2013 at 7:51 AM I am engulfed by the sadness of this and life. It is remarkable how some things work out so sadly and yet others come out so well. Life is such a mixed blessing, and there is so much to understand. I did write a little thing that's good for the lighter side :) I like your intensity. You seem to me to be such a good person!
